Gygax Memorial Quest
There is rumored to be an artifact of great power, sought by Dungeons & Dragons® adventurers throughout the lands, a table that holds magic for all that gather around it--the Gygax Memorial Table! We are seeking adventurers of all levels to join us on this epic quest! Choose your level and gather your treasures!
All adventurers will be listed by level-title here on the Gygaxian Wall of Honor! Additionally, they will receive a pdf of their official Gygaxian Scroll of Honor with their name & title! Adventurers can even pool their treasure to get the name of their group entered onto the lists. Have your scribe (your printer or copier machine) print it off and hang it proudly in your adventurer's game hall or trophy room!
Additionally you will receive cumulative levels of Graysterne Castle, an all new, mini-level mega-dungeon! Each level appears on graph paper with a map and key for the level. This Any-Edition Dungeon is an original adventure written by game designer, Paul Stormberg, and is written without stat-blocks, just like Gary Gygax's original dungeon keys!
Paul is an RPG historian (listen for his new When We Were Wizards podcast) and has been friend and collaborator on projects involving the works of Gary Gygax and his co-Dungeon Master, Rob Kuntz (www.TLBgames.com and www.legendsofroleplaying.com). He has played in both of their dungeons and studied their unpublished dungeon manuscripts. Paul's experience with Gary and Rob's play styles and access to their original materials makes him the ultimate old school DM!
At name-level (9th level or higher), starting at $250 or more, you will have your name engraved in stone! Your name, your group's name, or the name of someone you choose will be engraved on one of the granite pavers to be placed at the base of the memorial around the table and benches. These Gygaxian Walk of Honor stones are numbered 1 through 1,285 and will be assigned by level and precedence of pledge. The earlier and higher you pledge the lower your number and closer you will be to the head of the table and Gary's statue. The standard 4 x 8 inch pavers allow for 3 lines of 13 characters (letters in all caps, numbers, spaces, dashes, and ampersands) while the "Epic" pavers are 4 x 12 inch and allow for 3 lines of 20 characters each.
